Screencasting Framework

The following document is a written account of the Code School screencasting framework. It should be used as a reference of the accompanying screencast on the topic.

Why you should care about screencasting?

You're probably aren't going to take the time to read this document if you're not interested, but there are a lot of nice side effects caused by learning how to create quality screencasts.

1. Communicating more effectively - At Envy Labs we produce screencasts for our clients all the time. Whether it's demoing a new feature or for a presentation for an invester, they're often much more effective and pleasent than a phone call or screen sharing.

# This is the code from my 'There is No Such Thing as Metaprogramming' talk,
# which premiered at the Arlington, VA Ruby Users Group on Feb 22nd.
# Without the deliver and walk-through to the solution below this example
# will be missing quite an important bit of content (mainly the tracking of
# 'self' while developing the solution, but it still a useful read.

# Here is the Toddler with no metajuju. Note that the developer, as well as
# the code, is completely unuaware of the interpreter. A developer with a
# background in compiled languages would be comfortable looking at this.

# Just wanted to clarify my points at the meetup last night.
#
# There were two different issues intertwined:
# (1) Whether to use extend or "include as extend"
# (2) When using "include as extend", what is the simplest way to achieve the goal?
#
# My personal opinion is that the answer to (1) is "extend", not "include as extend", but that
# is just my personal opinion. My answer to (2) is a more empirical question.

# Using the "extend" approach. Again, I personally prefer the simplicity of this approach, but
